It faded over several months, but was recorded in literature by a handful of ancient astronomers and their notes have reached us today.\n\n\n\n</p><p>This is the aftermath, known as Messier 1 as the first entry in Charles Messier\u2019s catalogue of crap in the sky that wasn\u2019t comets. Also known as the Crab Nebula since a guy in 1832 looked at it through a telescope and felt it looked like a crab from what he could make out in a hand sketch.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Now we know it is the expanding shell of the supernova witnessed in 1054, still rapidly expanding and 11 lightyears across. It is one of the most epically colorful objects I have seen in our sky. This is a true color image, color calibrated to be shown in natural colors with the saturation turned up so that we can see them.\n\n\n\n</p><p>How incredibly terrible, violent, and beautiful all at once! This is how the raw material for new planets and life gets formed, and it is amazing to witness it!\n\n\n\n</p><p>I hope you like it and have a fantastic day!\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image' size-large><img decoding='\"async\"' loading='\"lazy\"' width='\"827\"' height='\"1024\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/runeecho.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2023%5C/10%5C/IMG_1515-827x1024.jpeg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-751\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1515-827x1024.jpeg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class='\"mh-excerpt\"'><p>BOOOOOM When people in the year 1054 witnessed the sudden appearance of a \u201cdaytime star\u201d, they didn\u2019t know what to make of it.
